+This is not specific to whereis at all. You have added a new git remote and
+git-annex does not know what the uuid of it is. Until it can find out, it
+won't be able to use that remote (including referring to it in whereis
+output). So, git-annex always tries to get the uuid for such remotes
+at startup time.
+
+If you don't want git-annex to use this remote, you can set
+remote.name.annex-ignore.
